Using "revised" parts from old KoP

[Dave Campbell]

I'll venture a guess.
The 2008 BB transmissions for sale are revised, a team can not use the 2007 KOP original "version"...only the COTS revision...The text in the Q&A only gives the parenthetical description of "like those in the 2007 KOP." I think that the key is that the revised versions are allowed if COTS.
Same for the CMU cam...the revised version, COTS only.
Just my guess.

That sounds about right to me. (The 2007 trannies started as COTS items, as I recall.)

Dave... I trust your judgment, but I'm hoping you're wrong. That Q&A sure sounds to me like the Banebots transmissions are still legal... particularly since they say "any revision", not "any COTS revision" (hence my confusion). If you're right, some teams are going to be pretty sad at inspection time.
